Review LA Colors "Tropical Storm" Polish

L.A. COLORS

TROPICAL STORM

This is exactly the color of the skies here the other day when it was storming. This dark gray color covered the skies and not it covers my nails. This is "Tropical Storm" by L.A. Colors and its another gray metallic polish. 

This polish was thicker than the Maybelline Color Show polish, I'm guessing because the color is darker. It had great coverage and I only needed 2 coats. It didn't streak or bubble so I guess I got better at applying metallic polishes. This polish is more opaque so can't really build on it, but I still have some ideas for it.

The best thing about this polish is definitely the price. It was only $1 at Family Dollar and was an impulse buy. Well okay maybe not so much an impulse as a :let's casually walk around the polish section and see what we can find" kind of buy. It was only a dollar so no hard feelings and I'm happy with how it looks. Its a great creamy dark gray! So what new polishes have you bought?

#400 PEDAL TO THE METAL

Pedal to the Metal is a super bright shimmery silver that looks fantastic! It took about 4 coats to get complete coverage. Because it took 4 coats drying time did take a little longer, but it wasn't too bad. I wish it would have been more opaque, but with being sheer it has way more possibilities. 

I noticed that on the first coat it started out thicker on the bottom and then got more sheer towards the top. The wheels immediately started turning and I can totally see the possibilities of some match-ups. Anyway, the drying time for each individual coat was pretty average at a 1-2mins, just to make sure it was completely dry. It wasn't thick at all and did go on really easily, which was a first for me. I've noticed that a lot of the metallic polishes have a different consistency than non-metallic. I have had issues with bubbles and streaks with others, not so with "Pedal to the Metal".

The price was pretty affordable at about $3.99 at Walgreens and if you want to join in on the metallics bandwagon then this is a good one. Its so pretty and I really loved it. So head out and get your own bottle before the bandwagon leaves you behind.

How do you like my little nail art? I bought some nail art tape and wow its super hard to use! I think the blue goes great with the bright silver though and I'll be pairing them up again. Hopefully next time I'll do a better job of it.
